Charlie Hebdo launches German edition

Ich bin Charlie Hebdo.

The controversial French satirical magazine will next week begin publishing a German edition.

A spokeswoman for the magazine said an initial run of 200,000 copies will be printed in Germany. She noted that the French version of Charlie Hebdo is already popular in the country, which is home to a large French-speaking population.

The German version of the edgy magazine will include both translated and original content.

“If we do feel like one topic is too French oriented, we will either replace it with an exclusive content, or else bring out an archive and translate it,” the spokeswoman said.

The magazine will open a small office in Germany. But the new edition’s content will be produced in Paris, and its top editor will be based in the French capital.

The first edition of the weekly mag will cost €4 ($4.20) and hit German newsstands on Thursday, December 1. The magazine sells for €3 in France.
